AIR ATOMIZING SPRAY PROCESS
4.5.1
ROUND AND FLAT JET
In this process, the material (paint) is fed to the nozzle with low pressure at approx. 0.05-
0.2 MPa; 0.5-2 bar; 7-29 psi. The atomizing air at approx. 0.25-0.4 MPa; 2.5-4 bar; 36-58 psi
produces a soft jet, which largely eliminates the problem of overlapping boundaries.
4.5.2
ROUND JET
The jet is cone-shaped.

The spraying angle can be changed by adjusting the „fan air". Depend on the material and
the output, a large range of nozzles and air caps are available to suit your needs (see chap-
ter. 9.1).
